A compelling reminder of what occurred just a few years ago under a different policy. ... See MoreSee Less

Liberal Party of Australia

Under Labor, 50,000 people arrived on 800 boats, 1,200 people drowned at sea and 8,000 children were put in detention. Only the Liberal and Nationals Government can be trusted with border security.

yeh and now you start beatin the anti union drum, pack of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R.I.P. Australia

Anyrhing for votes

labor money spending scum using our taxes for letting scum in

YES....DO NOT FORGET WHAT A MESS LABOR OF AUSTRALIAS IMMIGRATION SYSTEM....AND THE LIBERALS ARE FIXING UP THE MESS AND PROTECTING AUSTRALIA. LABORS MESS HAS AND IS COSTING ALL TAX PAYERS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS....JUST RESEARCH THE FACTS

Let the homeless use it

They should shut them All Down. No More.!

Big mistake club sing these centres, when labour wins the next election the boats will start coming

All except the ones that count, apparently.

The AUD sank to historic low below 70c, tqvm Liberals.

Open these centers for the homeless people in our country

Well done labor

Trying to find a suitable place, close to south pole.

And the Liberals are trying to pull any trick out of their hats

Lynn Taylor don’t be silly that costs lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

They have discovered more revenue by selling it and let the migrants buy their own block

They are still coming in

The LNP havent stopped the boats they have just stopped reporting it. Operational matters

The LNP need to state clearly their policy on immigration, work visas, refugees. Unless you are stark staring mad it is clearly evident that Australia has passed it's population capacity already and further growth will be detrimental! The selling off of our land and utilities to foreign ownership is also clearly to the DISADVANTAGE of Australia going forward. So what are their policies on that????

Sll our politicians are only out to feather their own nests 🤮

Stop scaring people with the boat people story. Stop exaggerating that they are the problem of Australia. The problem are the lazy Aussie born people that feed off the government and know how to use the system to live the easy life instead of working! The Boat people as you call them are willing to work hard and contribute to our country if given the opportunity! Fucking Racist Libs have no Policies and always try to put fear to Aussie public using the Refugee argument! More people, more ideas and a stronger economy! Wankers!

It is hilarious how the LNP clings desparately to the "stop the boats" theme. Its the only pot they have to piss in. Everything else is falling down around them and they think they can blindside the electorate with that old chestnut.

How many have come by plane?

Your disgusting riding on tails of the Feds remember you lost the state election

Despite the denials of a crime problem in Victoria, these attacks are continuing to cause real harm to innocent Victorians, and to undermine confidence in the safety of our public places. ... See MoreSee Less

So now a gang is robbing and assaulting people going for a swim at the beach? For goodness’ sake - this is unacceptable in anyone’s books. Enough is enough.

Has anyone heard the old saying, the horse has bolted

Is enough and enough as they should be deported back to their own country

Deport all of them their all bad we dont want them here

But Daniel said with the police there are no games in Melbourne!

Turning Melbourne into the third world s***hole that they came from!

Deport!

WHY is this allowed in OUR COUNTRY, what is happening HERE ??? And since when we are silenced by the GOVERNMENT about this Africans ? Something NEED to be done immediately, before we going to HAVE a civil war in Melbourne.

So they say these gangs are Australian citizens? So are you telling me that these thugs were born and raised in Australia? So they had all the great things this country offered and that’s how they repay us ? In that case I blame the parents for their upbringing, that means deport the parents as well DEPORT THEM ALL .😡😡😡😡😡

Big ears says there’s no problem.

If you voted labor then you voted for this

And Victoria voted him back in?

Unfortunately our Government is too weak to deport these thugs they are not protecting their citizens. Shame on them

We could have had a liberal government who would have stolen from the poor and gave it to their buddies instead. At least these blokes are easy to see coming

Deport them and their families !!! They will not respect the Australian way of life so get rid of them

Victoria Police now patrolling Chelsea Beach - not a problem, these thugs will simply surface somewhere else. If there are no consequences for poor behaviour there is no incentive to change conduct.

Send them all packing to back where they come from

“Weak as piss”, that’s the only way to describe our government and the law enforcement (or the lack of).

Dan Andrews knows if they’re not arrested or charged they don’t feature in crime statistics.. so by doing nothing at all he looks like the problem is solved

Melbourne has become a cesspool for criminals of "African appearance". Time Dan orders the police to clean it up. Remember the American Doctor and son who watched the tennis a year ago and on their way back to their hotel got set upon by a gang of African appearance" men? I bet he had a tale to tell family and friends back home once released from hospital about Melbourne!!!

And they weren't 'of African appearance. ..' - they ARE African.

Why are you all acting as if these crimes are new, heads up crime is not new and it doesn't fucking matter what side of government is in, and you can't blame the government all the time, how about taking some responsibility for your own actions to why youth are like they are today. It's really sad to read some of your racist comments. Stop being sheep!!!

These african scum don't like it when they are challenged either. Step in Mr Dutton and sort them out because the african elders won't

I am fed up with this violence. I feel unsafe in my own home. Yet dopey Dan says there is No gang problem and is re-elected. God help us with another four years of this clown.

Doesn't matter how you vote They are all promising you everything and in the end you get nothing

Just send them back,as soon as they start doing this.!

This is part of my first press conference as Liberal Leader; I speak about where I believe we are and where we need to be. Already, the Liberal Party is seeing change and we (and Victoria) will be better for it.

Only the corrupt aspect,now do you get It?

well that wouldnt wouldn’t be biased with the ABC 😂😂😂😂

If we stuffed around as much in our jobs as you lot do in yours, we'd be sacked and no pension

just listen to the concerns of victorians and act on them, instead of blowing them off as not vote catching concerns . LISTEN AND ACT or you'll be dead in the water at the next election. i have voted libs all my life but not anymore , independents and minor parties get my tick these days because you lot don't give a fat rats about the constituents until an election is looming . the public aren't as dumb as you think they are..

I vote conservatives but they must wake up to Trump’s passionate strong drive like to stand up for Australia and real Australians loyal to GOD, dignity, freedom and responsibility for themselves and their family.

I wish parliamentarians had backbone, integrity, ideas for improving the future for our children. STOP BITCHING, STOP PROMISING THE WORLD JUST TO GET BACK INTO POWER. Start thinking and acting for our benefit, the people who pay your wages!

The dinosaur parties are only interested in lining their pockets and setting up cushy jobs for when they finally get their marching orders

Hopefully one day people will get over all the bullshit from the major party's and vote for none of the Parasites !

I'm afraid this is just the beginning for the Liberals. Won't be a happy time either Federally next year.

Unfortunately, Michael, I heard you are a Global Warming Alarmist, I have to move on to a party that understands Climate. So let's see. Of all the gases in the atmosphere, CO2 represents .0038%. How many people actually know this fact? Of this .0038%, 97.5% is natural variability, that means humans account for 2.5%. So Australia supposedly accounts for 1.3% of 2.5% of 0.0038% of co2 emissions, errrrr, that's equals zip, zero, nought, nothing.

I’m sick of all of you grubs that pay for nothing

Sick of politicians as a whole.. Living the high life off the tax payer and letting companies / banks / oil / energy giants extort us.. Thats the Liberal way!

Change? A leopard doesn't change it's spots. An irrelevant political theory

Get rid of Marcus Bastiaan and I'll believe it. Any group supported by Marcus and Kroger who turns on their own liberals by taking them to court by using Fairfax to make up fake news DOES NOT deserve to represent the liberals. The group use the Fairfax media to try discredit other liberals has come back to bite the them. He and his toxic group must be evicted from Liberal Party asap. In future I suggest you conduct both IQ & mental health checks on office bearers. I been calling for that group to be gone for some time and no one took me seriously. You know it now. Dump them.

HaHa you both are as bad as the last lot same old tied faces just recycled

Full OF nothing

Same old both are dinosaurs. LNP are finished

Yes but it doesn’t have to be a “contest”. The mark of a true statesman and one who has the best interests of Victoria at heart is when he recognises a good idea, even when it originates from someone else, he supports it. Have the balls to do that publicly and see how that changes public perception, it will be so different the first time it might raise suspicion but do it a few times and you will stand out from the crowd, add a few original good ideas if your own and you will be head and shoulders above the crowd if numpties that are there now!

and very sick of politicians . You don't seem to be working for the betterment of you people or your country - Why is that? we don't want to be part of the UN or the paris agreement and we need to stop all refugees and clean out the sh-t one's you've already brought in . We don't need bludgers who won't work

You keep saying that ask the people you don't have a clue

Pretty much correct for both state and federal.

If you don't move the party back to the right where it belongs and continue to imitate Labor you'll be a lost cause. You need to restate the philosophy that the Liberals were created to champion. You cannot be an effective opposition when there is essentially no difference between you and the government. You need to champion social conservatism, families and parental rights, stop the indoctrination of children and return education to the pursuit of academic excellence.

Andrews is hiding his radical social agenda behind public works. He's making it appear that his is a government that is at the forefront of development. Artful deception, but deception just the same.

More like sick of listening to the inept ass clowns(Politicians) that are there to represent us , the Voter

You have a long way to go because you as a party lack ideas about climate change and a sustainable energy policy. If you don't arrest your lurch to the right then the liberals will be irrelevant. Move back to the centre right where you should be and the votes will come. Good luck with that. You'll have to clear the deck and get rid of the stupid religious extreme right first.
